Tickets are sold. Thanks for all the interest!

I've got four tickets together for Friday night (October 13th) against Army in Section 306 Row C. Great view of the ice and player benches. Easy to watch plays develop with no obstructions. UND shoots on this end twice. Easy access to beverages (organ bar right next door and beer/drink stand right outside our section) and the Red Pepper stand. These seats can't be beat!
Looking to get $100 total for all four. I would also consider splitting into two and two.
I can accept PayPal, Venmo, or cash and can transfer the tickets instantly. Please reply below or send a text if you're interested. Here's to hockey!

2 NCAA wins. One and done is same old same old. 1 win would kind of feel meh.
If UND knocks off a #1 seed in Fargo, that would feel like more than just "meh" to me.

Does Saint Cloud have anything to play for? They seem pretty locked into where they will be come the big tournament. We might be able to get a lead early and have them pack it in for the tournament.
One key storyline next weekend is that Denver is absolutely locked in (100% of all scenarios) as the #3 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and St. Cloud State is nearly locked in (98%) as the #7 overall seed.
By contrast, Colorado College and North Dakota need to win two games at the X to keep playing.

And for just the 2nd time in 24 years UND will not be hosting the first round in the playoffs. Hopefully that doesn't sit well with the coaches and the boys and gets them fired up to redeem themselves for that rather embarrassing stat.
I know that was the stat displayed inside the arena on Saturday night, but it's actually the 2nd time in 21 years (or the 3rd time in 28 years)...
March 8-9, 2002 at Minnesota (2-7 L, 3-4 OTL)
March 15-16, 2019 at Denver (0-2 L, 2-4 L)
Prior to 2002, the last time UND was on the road for the first round of the conference playoffs was in 1995. The last time UND had home ice and did not advance to the league semifinals was in 1996.
That means that from 1997-2022, North Dakota hosted the first round 22 times and advanced 22 times. During that stretch, UND went on the road twice and got swept twice, missing the WCHA Final Five in 2002 and the NCHC Frozen Faceoff in 2019. (There was no NCHC tourney in 2020, and the format was modified in 2021.)

Yeah, Dave said that their SOS was at 36 - 'middle of the pack' and they have 20 wins...
#32. AIC 1-0-1
$46. UST 1-1-0
#11. Michigan Tech 0-2-0
#16. UNO 1-1-0
#29. Nmu 1-1-0
#49. Rpi 1-0-1
#8. Penn state 0-2-0
#51. Ak-Ank 4-0-0
#14. ND 1-1-0
#3. DU 1-1-0
#51. Ak-Ank 2-0-0
#41. Az state 2-0-0
#58. LIU 3-1-0
#41. Az state 2-0-0
So, basically, against anyone in the top 20 they are 3-8. Anyone in the bottom 21, they are 15-2-0. Ranked number 12, and I am at a loss. I know the math will check out, but feel that there ranking and probable slot in the NCAA's is not deserving. That's just me, not the expert, just an opinion.
Alaska's strength of schedule is 31st.

The question he should have asked is ‘if 70% of [Alaska's] wins come against AA, LIU and Arizona State, how do you get to 12 in the first place?’. Yes, they did beat a few good teams but good lord, the math!!! 30% of their wins are Anchorage!
Alaska's strength of schedule is 31st, right in the middle of the pack.
Here are the teams with at least 20 victories and a more difficult schedule than Alaska (20-10-2):
Minnesota (25-8-1): 3rd toughest schedule
Denver (26-8-0): 13th
Michigan (20-11-3): 2nd
Penn State (20-13-1): 6th
Western Michigan (21-12-1): 11th
Boston University (22-10-0): 19th
Michigan Tech (22-9-4): 23rd
Minnesota State (21-12-1): 15th
And that's it.

I think its time to remove the part about this team's defense being like the 2015-16 team.
I was alluding to the fact that the 2015-16 blueliners averaged 0.48 points per contest (24-91-115 in 241 combined games played), and this year's squad is above that number (0.53).
But your point is well made. The championship d-corps chipped in offensively while also allowing just 1.84 goals per game (2nd-best in the nation), while this year's team is allowing 3.14 (45th).
I'll update the article to clarify. Thanks!

We're running 16F right now.
Two run out of eligibility (10, 19).
Two more are seniors but have a Covid year available to them (13, 28).
And then there are the wonders:
- does 17 sign
- does 5 portal out
- do any others look at the portal?I'd say Emerson and Perron are the obvious two to bring in, and then it becomes what else is needed to stay at 15F. (I don't see another year at 16F.)
Spot on regarding Michael Emerson and Jayden Perron.
Full article regarding the 2023-24 roster will drop later this week, but I will say that Cody Croal (2003 birthdate) is most likely the third forward in (if necessary), followed by Jaksen Panzer (2004). Singleton (also 2004) went back to the AJHL this season and most likely will come in Fall of 2024.
Aside from the two certain losses up front (Hain and Senden), the other forwards to watch (in order of flight risk) are Caulfield, Gaber, Montgomery, Albrecht, Kunz, and Costantini.
